  • Far-Away Stories

    Restored Classics to Go Edition

    by William John Locke ...
    Far-Away Stories gathers William J. Locke's short fiction into a sequence of tales shaped by music, longing, sacrifice, and the stubborn human need for love. The opening "The Song of Life" introduces Angelo Fardetti, an aging musician in Peckham whose shabby dignity hides a lifetime of artistic yearning, private sorrow, and an unfinished sonata he believes might contain the whole rhythm of ...

  • Simon the Jester

    A Man Given Little Time Resolves to Do Good

    by William John Locke ...
    Simon de Gex, MP, is told he has six months to live and decides to spend them arranging other people's happiness — with the detachment of a man who will not be there for the consequences. Then the diagnosis is revised. Locke was born in British Guiana and kept an architect's ledgers for ten years before his fiction took hold; this is his cleverest book and the one where the charm has a blade in it ... Read more

  • The Belovéd Vagabond

    The Story of Paragot, Told by His Boy

    by William John Locke ...
    Paragot — vagabond, drunkard, violinist, once something else entirely — takes a boy out of a London gutter, names him Asticot, and teaches him the world from the roads of France. Locke was born in British Guiana and kept an architect's ledgers for a decade before his fiction took hold; the beloved vagabond was his invention and his fortune, and this is the book where the trick is done perfectly. ...

  • Stella Maris

    An Invalid Girl Meets the World She Imagined

    by William John Locke ...
    A girl raised in one room, kept from all knowledge of the world because of an illness, is finally shown it. Locke handles the sentiment carefully and the 1918 film gave Mary Pickford both leading parts. ... Read more

  • The Wonderful Year

    A Young Englishman Adrift in France

    by William John Locke ...
    Martin Overshaw, a young Englishman who has come to Paris in August with no notion what to do with his life, dines with an old friend, Corinna Hastings, who is just as adrift — and the evening sets off the most unexpected year either of them has known. William Locke wrote sentimental comedies that sold enormously; this one, published in 1916, takes its people out of the Latin Quarter into ... Read more

  • Where Love Is

    An Ingenuous Man Among Fashionable People

    by William John Locke ...
    A rich woman who has never been refused anything, a man who cannot be bought, and a courtship conducted mostly through what neither will admit. Locke wrote to a formula he had made himself — the charming irregular against the respectable — and this is the drawing-room version of it, tighter than the vagabond books and rather more cruel about money. ...

  • At the Gate of Samaria

    A Girl's Struggle for a Life of Her Own

    by William John Locke ...
    A girl raised in the shabby end of literary London decides to become a writer, and finds the price is everything she was raised to want. Locke's first novel, published in 1894, before the charming vagabonds made him rich — this one is harder and colder than anything he wrote afterwards, and its heroine is not rewarded for being good. ...
